Testing TenaTac® glue to prevent air leaks after lung surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new medical glue called TenaTac® can safely prevent air leaks after lung surgery. You may be eligible if you're scheduled for a lobectomy and your surgeon plans to use a special glue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a lobectomy (removing part of a lung) as a planned surgery.
- Your surgeon plans to use a special glue called a sealing agent to stop air leaks.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have signed a consent form agreeing to join the study.
- You are covered by French social security health insurance.
- You do not have a gelatin allergy.

This study tests a special ventilation method during lung surgery to see if it can predict air leaks after the procedure. If successful, it could help patients recover more smoothly after a lobectomy or segmentectomy.
This study looks at whether TissuePatch SF can prevent air leaks after lung surgery. You may be able to join if you are having planned lung surgery and fit the health requirements.
This trial tests whether a special gel (Progel Platinum) can reduce air leaks that sometimes happen after lung cancer surgery. It is for people having minimally invasive surgery to remove the upper or lower lobe of the lung.
This study is testing a new tool that checks for air leaks in the chest tube placed after lung surgery. An air leak can slow down recovery, and this device may help doctors detect it more accurately.
This study tests whether it is safe to avoid placing a chest tube after lung surgery when a special air-leak test shows no leak. If you are having a small lung removal (wedge resection) through one small cut, you may be able to leave the hospital without a tube, which could mean less pain and a faster recovery.
This trial tests whether a tubeless surgery technique (no breathing tube during or after surgery) is safe and effective for people whose lungs are not working well. If you need lung surgery and have trouble breathing, this approach might help you avoid a breathing tube and a stay in the ICU.
